WATER-SPRINKLER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N o. 421,*729, dated February 18, 1890. Application filed November 6, 1889. Serial No. 329,449. (No model.)

sides are presented in the direction the disk turns.

E represents the fixed guides, e the clampscrews or bolts, and F the longitudinall '-adjustable vanes or buckets of the other disk B'. 5 5

The dotted circles g g' represent dischargeopenings in the bottom of conductors G G', which receive water from the tank of the wagon.

The operation of this sprinkler is as follows: The water discharged from the Ventages or nozzles g g' falls directly upon the rapidlyrevolving disks B B' and is instantly scooped up by the concave buckets D F, which throw the fluid to a considerable distance in finelydivided jets or s'pray, the two disks beng run in opposite directions, as indicated by the arrows in Fig. 1. If the water is to be thrown but a limited distance, the yanes need not project beyond the end of their respective guides, and by simply shifting said vanes outwardly the distance to which the water can be thrown Will be regulated aceordingly.

In Fig. l the vanes F project fai-ther than the vanes D, in order that the sprinkler B' may throw water a' greater distance than the other disk B. In Fig. 2 the guides C, and conse quently their inclosed vanes D, are arranged tangentially upon the disk B, thereby 1nd1- cating that these devices D may be disposed in any manner that will be the most effective.

In Fig. 3 the vane D takes theishape of a three-sided rectangular trough, while in Fig.

t the vane is a semicircular tube. Therefore it isapparent -that the exact shape of the vane is immaterial, provided it has the de sired scooping action on the water and s capable of being adjusted longitndinally for the purpose of regulating the distance to which the spray can be thrown.

In another application, filed by myself and Henry G. Stiebel, Jr., .Iuly 6, 1889,- Serial N o. 316,(599, the concave vanes or buckets are shown and claimed more broadly than in the present case. Therefore I diselaim from this application whatever is shown and claimed in the joint application above reerse longitudinal slots CZ of the adjustable ferred to. vanes or buckets D. These vanes are hollow I claim as myinvention- To all whom it may conacw:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM S. KISINGER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Bellevue, in the county of Campbell and 5 State of Kentucky, have invente'd certain new and useful Improvements in Water- Sprinklers; and I do hereby declare the fol` lowing to be a full, clear, and exact descrip- V tion of the invention, reference being had to ro the annexed drawings, which form a part of this specification.

My improved water-sprinkler consists of a plate or disk whose upper surface is armed With a series of longitudinally-adjustable [5 vanes or buckets that d'sperse the water by the centrifugal Velocity of said disk, which latter is usually driven by geared connections with one of the ground-wheels of a wagon, cart, or other appropriate vehicle. Said vanes zo are disposed either radially or tangentially upon the disk, and are hollow or concave in front, or, in other words, on the side that first 4 comesin contact with the stream of water discharged from the tank or other reservoir,

25 the invention being more especially applicable to wagons used for sprinkling streets, roads,&c., as hereinafter more fully described.

In the anneXed drawings, Figure 1 is a plan of a pair of disks provided with my adjust- 30 able vanes or buckets. Fig. 2 is an enlarged plan of one of said disks, a pair of the vanes being sectioned horizontally. Fig. 3 is an Fig. 4: is a similar section of a modified form 3 5 of the vane.

Referring to Fig. 1, A represents a platform or frame, and a a' are hangers wherewith it is supported from the rear end of a sprinkling-wagon, said platform having suitwhich carry plates or disks B B', although the disk shape is preferred. The upper surface of disk B is armed with a series of long, narrw guides C, which are here shown as 45 being disposed radially with reference to the aXis of said disk, and each guide is f urnished with one or more bolts or screws c, that travo or concave as seen in Fi m 3 and their o en 1. A centrifu al s rinkler consisting of a IOO 7 c P c i or disk whos pltte With a series of fi tudinalIy-adjustuble concztve vmes or buckets, which bu ckets and have their the direction said coneave sides e upper surface is provided xcd guides carrying 1ongi- Ll'O open at their outer ends presented in dsks turn, substantidiy as herein described, and for the purpose stated. 2. The oonbinationjnaeentrfugal sprinkler, of the plate o r disk B, provided on its upper surface With :L series of fixed guides G, carrying longitudinchy-adjustabie conczwe vones or huckets D, which buekets are open at their outer ends, have their eonccve sides presented in the direction said disk turns,
